Slow Cooker Amish Autumn Chicken
This Slow Cooker Amish Autumn Chicken is a simple, hearty dinner that’s perfect for cool-weather evenings.
Bone-in chicken thighs cook slowly over tender potatoes and carrots while a creamy onion sauce melts into everything, creating rich, savory juices with very little prep. It’s an easy, budget-friendly meal that feels warm, rustic, and satisfying.
Serve it with buttered noodles, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Applesauce, cranberry relish, green beans, or a simple salad also make great sides.
Slow Cooker Amish Autumn Chicken
Ingredients
- 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into thick pieces
- 1 envelope onion soup mix
- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, 10.5 ounces
Directions
1. Prepare the slow cooker
Lightly coat the inside of your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread the halved baby potatoes and carrot pieces evenly across the bottom.
2. Add the chicken
Arrange the chicken thighs over the vegetables with the skin facing upward.
Try to keep them in a single layer if possible.
3. Make the sauce
In a small bowl, stir together the onion soup mix and condensed cream of chicken soup until well combined.
Spread the mixture evenly over the chicken.
4. Slow cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or until the chicken is very tender and the potatoes and carrots are soft.
5. Serve
Spoon the rich cooking juices over the chicken and vegetables before serving.
For a casual meal, serve directly from the slow cooker. For a more traditional presentation, arrange the chicken and vegetables on a platter and spoon the sauce over the top.
Simple, hearty, and full of savory flavor, this slow-cooked chicken dinner is an easy addition to any fall meal rotation.
